Does This Light Pole Need to Be Replaced?

One local businessman is worried that this pole on the corner of Greystone Avenue and West 238th Street is leaning to one side and that the wood pole may snap under the weight of the heavy wires it has to support. When snow occurs the burden on this pole is greater by the added weight of the snowfall. Also there are nicks at the bottom of the pole where delivery trucks have hit this pole while parking. He is worried that should this pole break that it would create a huge blackout which could cripple the immediate businesses and residents for days until repairs are made.
